    Too many cooks spoil the broth


    Metaphorically, the quote suggests that for each situation or broth we may
    have a number of stakeholders or cooks that will have their own agenda.
    Compromise in such a situation becomes difficult and ultimately results in a
    hotchpotch.
    We pride ourselves as being the largest democracy in the world. Our founding
    fathers believed in the principle of Unity in Diversity. Our system of governance
    is based on inclusion of diverse groups in the decision making process and take
    in account their perspectives and experiences. This move, though highly
    laudable, systemically slows the decision making process and thus governance.
    Important reforms and legislation thus never see the light of the day.
    Another pertinent example of this would be the UN General Assembly. The 170
    member strong general assembly typically convenes once a year to discuss
    strategic policy measures in food security, human rights, literacy etc. But it has
    successfully managed to delegitimise its authority and become a facade because
    of the infighting among its member nations. The major decisions are thus taken
    in effect by the elite few i.e. the UNSC.
    So should we then restrict decision making to a select few in power? No, because
    decentralized and flat hierarchical business and govt. models are not only more
    efficient but also more stable. We can only reach compromise and decision when
    we are willing to work with those on the other side of the table with reason and
    resolve.
    Major corporate houses and organisations can avoid infighting and conflicts by
    continuous introspection whether they are on the foundations on which their
    organisation was built.
